Climate Change and EnvironmentThe accumulation of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, known as Global Warming for the rise in mean temperatures, but with various other weather and climatic consequences as well, creates a need for multiple responses. These include: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to optimize natural processes for carbon capture (i.e. trees), and to increase resiliency by helping human populations adapt to climate change and reduce risks from phenomena like destructive weather events.

My work in this area has included early studies on the viability of low and zero emission vehicles, renewable energy economics, watershed management, land use, disaster response, and disaster risk reduction. These address developments in the countries of Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, USA, and Vietnam.
